of land provided through a Special Use Permit with the U.S. Forest

Charleston mountain range and the Lee Canyon area contain hiking trails,
Ponderosa pines and a collective assortment of animals such as deer,
elk, eagles, hawks and owls, which are indigenous to this alpine
setting. The canyon’s summer climate has a 76/40 degree temperature
range with moderate rainfall and occasional thundershowers in late July
and early August. An average winter brings a 30/-5 degree temperature
